I understand that education is the most important weapon and shield of our people. My professional choice is determined by the desire to benefit my Motherland and people, to serve the public interest. My goal is to show myself as a specialist in the field of public administration of the RA. I would like my peers to take education and, above all, their choices very seriously.
